Once you select a game, don't press any buttons until the game loads, that screen your seeing is meant for configuring emulators etc. If it takes longer than 30 seconds for the game to start you might have a badly flashed card or faulty card

well i think i almost have it done. resoldered all the pins, wiped the back of the board clean with aclohol, covered in kapton tape and every step of the way putting it back together, would plug it into the mains and check and it was working, got it fully assembled plugged in working perfectly. but ...

That was the kind of weird thing, when it was in the case and having the issue, holding a direction and then pressing y wouldn't trigger it. Just pressing down on both from an unpressed state at the same time would. I did find it wasn't just right but any d pad direction + y, but taking it out of th...

I just plugged it into the mains directly and it seems to be working 100 percent, games aren't crashing after a few minutes and the button combination isn't shorting it out, wondering if I might've screwed it to tightly into the case or something?

Here are the images of soldering, all the pins have correct continuity per the build video

I'll try to get a picture after work tonight, as for continuity, I was meaning between the test pads above the gpio pins to the corresponding pin. None of the soldered points have continuity to each other, (basically it clears continuity testing the way the build video says it should) Did a bit more...

Title says it all really, if I press right on the d pad and the y button at the same time, it restarts the whole system like powering it on from off. I had tested continuity on all the pins and adjacent pins, everything either buzzed or didn't the way it was supposed to. I'm not sure if this is a so...
